Anybody ever converted an Optima Elite to a smokeless? Doesn't seem like it would be much different than doing an Encore.

You will need a 45-70 barrel for it, send it to a guy called Slufoot(dougs message board) he will fit it with a savage breech plug and voila smokeless .45 muzzleloader.
That's the simple version.

Sorry fulldraw, been out of pocket for a while. These guys summed it up. The only catch is that CVA doesn't make the 45-70 barrel anymore (at least that's my understanding), so I'd have to find one.
